Need a reception locale for Kansas City!

My friend is getting married and running into $ problems. His fiance wants it to be lavish and at an uppity place like Club 1000, but their budget just can't cut that. They have about $9000 to spend for the entire reception - the hall rental, food, booze, DJ, the whole shebang.

Any good suggestions? Please keep it within the downtown area, or north of the river.

It's a little further out, but I'd highly recommend the Culinary Center of Kansas City. It is located in the old downtown Overland Park (close to 79th and Metcalf). The space is just as nice as Club 1000 -- but more lively -- and the food is absolutely fantastic. I had a wedding reception there and paid $4500 for the shebang (minus DJ). It is truly worth checking out.
